The Kings County Farm Bureau announced Wednesday that it is endorsing Assemblyman Rudy Salas, D-Bakersfield, for re-election.
The announcement is that latest in a list of Kings County endorsements Salas has racked up in his race against Republican challenger Pedro Rios.

HANFORD – Assemblymember Rudy Salas has received the official endorsement for re-election to the 32nd Assembly District from the Kings County Farm Bureau (KCFB).
“Assemblyman Salas understands our issues and seeks input before making decisions that impact agriculture. We are confident he will continue to work hard and advocate for the largest industry in the Valley.” said Dino Giacomazzi, President of the Kings County Farm Bureau.

Assemblyman Rudy Salas, D-Bakersfield, helped organize a letter-writing and calling campaign to inundate Brown’s office with pro-FFA statements. Salas himself introduced a bill in February that would reinstate the funding.
Salas said the public pressure had an impact on the Legislature.
“I think it was really the support from the kids, them testifying, the parents and teachers and community leaders, showing how important this is,” Salas said.

The votes are in for the 32nd Assembly District seat and it looks like teacher and farmer Pedro Rios will go head-to-head against incumbent Rudy Salas, D-Bakersfield in the November elections.
Salas maintained a commanding lead as expected with a final count of 9,926 votes, followed by Rios with 8,067 and Romeo Agbalog with 5,106.
